Can you believe that I was able to do this living room makeover for under $350?? I’m so proud of myself & I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

[@cindyhunter166]

Your style and skills are amazing.

[@amarillisreyes6602]

Fantastic work, I have been overwhelmed with what color to choose for my living room, and your explanation of how it actually looks and feels, is what I have been looking for! Thank you sooooooo very much! Have a blessed day!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

@@cindyhunter166 you’re so sweet! Thank you!

Thank you for watching 😊

[@kenesh02]

This is absolutely beautiful. The White oak accent chairs go well with the color scheme. No need to change the color. Love it!!!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I want to change the color lol. I’d like them to have more contrast between the chair & the floor

[@trudierhodes2460]

Nice job! Suggestion warm the window up with a light linen flowing curtain, and of course in your style.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I’ve been considering curtains recently 😊

[@elizabethtorres6461]

The perfect drug is hard to find. I finally ended up getting commercial grade carpet cut and having it bound around the edges.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

[@KelleeYouPersonalOracle]

My favorite is what you did with the pictures!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thanks! A little bit of contrast makes a big difference

[@cananeastaley2603]

Try Varathan wood stain or Briwax on your chairs to darken the wood on your chairs. I would cover the fabric with plastic to ensure the stain doesn't get on it. I would also use a small sponge or glove to apply the stain in more detail. I hope these ideas work. Your home is beautiful 😍.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think I might end up trying a gel stain, just gotta work up the nerve lol

[@donnacompton7006]

They look great leave them alone it’s good to mix wood tones

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think I’d like a more cohesive look eventually

[@tiffanystroy1368]

Yes ma'am!!! You did an amazing job sprucing up the wall art! There's nothing amateur about them at all! I love watching you & your spaces evolving together. I can tell that you're very intentional about every item you bring into your home. That makes me so happy to see since most content creators just seem to buy everything to me lol.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I try to be. Our house is pretty small & has very little storage, so I’ve got to make sure we’re using everything we have

[@yeseniahernandez5531]

Hi Megan. Beautiful! That off white color really britens up the area. Males your room look much bigger. Excellent job 👌. ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think so too!

[@jackandlill]

Hi Megan! It's truly amazing how far your living room has come over the years! It looks so pretty & serene! Another idea for your bench style sofa would be a thin lumbar style pillow. It would still be simple & low profile. I Love that you updated your artwork yourself & that it gave those large pieces a bit of contrast & some difference from one another. What a great diy! u could even turn the middle one upside down for another look in the future! It all looks great & you should be so proud of yourself for what you have accomplished in not just the LR but the entire house!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Turning it upside down is a great idea! 😍

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Use a white and gold round vase for the coffee table and put up a round mirror to balance the space and match the roundness of the table. You can put the mirror somewhere in the entry way.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We have a mirror in the entry

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

Wow, honestly impressed with everything and I tend to be picky!! One small recommendation would be to get a much larger plain light colored rug to put under the one you have for a layered look with more coverage as the current rug is a tad too small for the space. Well done!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

A larger rug is too large for the space lol. We’ve had every single size in there trying them all out

I had this the issue with some dining chairs I bought from target that were too light. I took some walnut gel stain from min wax and just did the wipe on method in very thin layers. It will darken it a couple of shades but still show the wood grain. No sanding needed.

I love how your place looks now! and the chairs look fine in that color!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I would just prefer a little more contrast from the floor

[@shelbyhambright9543]

A stain pate should work to darken the wood on the chairs. You can ask for a sample card to hold up to your stools to be sure the color is close enough to your liking. Of course you would need to use plastic wrap and tape to scrunch around every bit of the fabric you can and pul the fabric back as far as it can and tape it so most of the wood can be stained. You have such a lovely home. Great job.
